Because the Partitioned PMU must lean heavily on underlying hardware support, it can't guarantee an exception occurs when accessing an invalid pmc index. The ARM manual specifies that accessing PMEVCNTR_EL0 where n is greater than the number of counters on the system is constrained unpredictable when FEAT_FGT is not implemented, and it is desired the Partitioned PMU still work without FEAT_FGT. Though KVM could enforce exceptions here since all PMU accesses without FEAT_FGT are trapped, that creates further difficulties. For one example, the manual also says that after writing a value to PMSELR_EL0 greater than the number of counters on a system, direct reads will return an unknown value, meaning KVM could not rely on the hardware register to hold the correct value.
